[RTTY] The 10-Meter RTTY Contest this weekend

[Fabi va2up]

Thanks Don,
I am really excited about the contest and wouldn't miss it for the world. Had a long 30 minute Qso on 10M with Ken W0LSD yesterday around 21:00Z, he was running 75w and was solid copy all the way here. See you all!

> Just a few reminders concerning the upcoming 10-Meter RTTY Contest this weekend.
> 
> The contest starts at 0000Z this Sunday, December 4th, which is Saturday evening in the USA/Canada. This is a 24 hour contest with
> no required rest periods. It starts immediately after the completion of the TARA RTTY Melee. The two contests do not overlap.
> There will be no practice session. You can use the TARA contest as practice.
> 
> This is a low power only contest. The maximum allowed output power is 100 watts. There are only two categories - Single Operator
> and Multi-Operator Single Transmitter. Packetcluster assistance is permitted in both categories. Anyone can work anyone. Those
> running high power may submit a checklog.
> 
> Rules are identical to ARRL RTTY Roundup rules. Official rules can be found at:
> 
> http://www.rttycontesting.com/the10meterrttycontest/rules.html
> 
> Cabrillo logs are required and the deadline for submitting your log is 2359Z on December 15. You can use the ARRL RTTY Roundup
> module in your contest program since scoring is identical to the Roundup. After the contest, you can simply send your Cabrillo as
> is to 10rtty at kkn.net or you may edit the Cabrillo header and change the name of the contest from ARRL-RTTY to 10-RTTY. Either way
> is acceptable.
> 
> I will add a "Logs Received" page link to The 10-Meter RTTY Contest homepage. This page will be updated manually so if you don't
> see your call right away, check the next day. If you don't see your call listed there within 24 hours of submitting your log, send
> me an email and I'll check on your log. The home page for The 10-Meter RTTY Contest is:

> So far, five plaques are sponsored. If you are interested in sponsoring a plaque, please contact me directly. For a list of
> sponsored plaques, use the Plaques link from the home page. In addition, the top ten single operators will win an excellent bottle
> of wine from Muns Vineyard courtesy of Ed Muns, W0YK. Certificates will also be issued.
> 
> Ed and I are really excited about the contest and hope for good participation. The solar flux is rising, so hopefully we'll have
> good conditions. This is a great opportunity for those who run SO2V (Single Operator, 2 VFO's) to try your setup. It's also a good
> way to test your station and check propagation for next weekend's ARRL 10-Meter Contest. Or you can simply enjoy the contest for
> what it is - a 10 Meter RTTY only contest! We only ask that you be considerate of those operating PSK up around 28120 kHz and other
> digital modes that operate below 28080 kHz. There's lots of room on 10 meters. Suggested operating frequency are from 28080 kHz up
> to 28200 kHz. Although I doubt many will go as high as 28200 kHz, remember the NCDXF/IARU beacons run on 28200 kHz.
> 
> I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns about the contest. Please send directly to me or Ed w0yk at msn.com or both.
> Let's have some fun on 10 meters this weekend!!!
